<0> actually, speaking of that, watching old Rockford Files, or A-Team, or whatever, you realize how some of the plots would NEVER work today because the characters would all carry cell phones
<0> All the "oh, this guy knows something this guy doesn't and can't reach him in time"
<1> No telling how much of "Casino Royale" is brought forward in this release. Woody Allen's Casino Royale was in the '60s or such, but that was a comedy.
<2> nothing wrong with that
<0> all those plot devices would never work
<2> old tv should stay in the past
<2> not get rehashed into new remakes because the dimwits in holywood can't think their way off the toilet let alone come up with original ideas for movies :)
<0> But its just interesting to realize how many shows used plot devices which modern technology have completely eliminated
<0> the ability to record stuff digitally elminated all the "we will steal the negatives" type plots
<3> yeah jet. i'm constantly thinking about that. as a storyteller it's interesting to see how technology dramatically changes how stories are written
<0> OOOO, we stole a tape of character A saying something bad
<3> yeah and now we have endless "zoom in and enhance that image" "ok, we got an ID"
<0> but now its on a memory stick
<0> and can be duplicated endlessly
<3> that's what irked me about 24 with that recording this season. why the **** didn't they copy it, or why couldn't he connect it to his ****ing PDA to send?
<1> Despite the fact that zoom in and id face logical constraints that no amount of tech would solve.
<3> no, they're chained to this little pocket recorder
<3> like minority report, apparently LANs don't exist in the future.
<3> remember when they copied data by moving plates of gl*** like giant floppy disks
<3> ummmm.
<3> speilberg is still in Apple II mode
<0> Tomomi: the general public doesn't care... in the same way medical or police procedures mis-represented don't matter to me
<0> but might bug the **** out of a doctor or cop
<2> I have memories of XTR on my stick
<2> or did you mean something else by Memory Stick?
<0> mmm, sticky
<1> nerp: I think the moving plates was just bringing in information from a different modality, like cops now have to bring up a seperate screen to search reverse-lookups or DMV records.
<4> indeed, I doubt many lawyers can stand watching all these law-n-order clone shows
<0> and people bug us for talking about Star Trek "technology"
<2> Dept of Mother's Vagina
<2> ew
<0> To be honest I didn't think Minority Report was all that good a movie
<4> I never saw it, I can't stand Tom Cruise
<2> it wasn't bad. wasn't great
<5> it was a much better short story
<0> I mean, it was okay, but for a view of how the future will be, I much prefer Gattacca
<6> hi2u
<1> It's an "okay" watch for when you're bored.
<0> two t's, two c's?
<7> All <i>non-verified</i> accounts will have their purchases either denied instantly or automatically refunded. In order to ensure the lowest possible fraud rates, CST does this as one part of it's fraud prevention solutions in order to keep it's operating costs down which directly translates into savings for you, our customer.
<4> sadly, the future is far more likely to be something like Brazil
<7> gah!
<2> well, I thought gattaca was a better movie for sure. but I don't look to either for a clue into the real future :)
<2> gattaca was just unique in that it was a really good sci-fi story
<2> that
<2> didn't rely on splashy special effects to entertain you
<6> can anybody help me out, i got a new modem and im gettin ****ty speeds wtf
<4> modem?
<1> There's always Blade Runner, but it only really covered one section of the city.
<6> linksys
<4> philip k ****'s original short story was 10X better than the movie
<4> "do androids dream of electric sheep?"
<0> Tomomi: well, Blade Runner seemed to present a two-cl*** society
<0> the very rich and everyone else
<2> speaking of washed up hacks making their money by non-stop rehashing the OLD days of success, can you believe that fat bastard Lucas is putting out another DVD collection of the original 3 SW?
<2> geez. what a ****head
<2> I wish someone would shoot him already :)
<0> Barsky: he'll sell a truckload
<4> Barsky; were the original 3 EVER released on DVD?
<4> i have them on laserdisk
<2> the original unaltered now on dvd
<2> along with one of the newer released sets
<0> haha
<2> sheesh
<2> he really needs to die. shouldn't someone that old and fat have a fatal heart attack by now?
<2> ;-)
<2> how old is that ****er/
<2> ?
<2> 62
<4> 1944, so 62
<7> I'll buy them when they're available around here :)
<2> he was raise on a walnut ranch in Molesto, Ca.
<2> oh geez
<2> at least torrent them. :)
<7> but but but..
<2> I find it hard to even watch them anymore. seen them so often
<7> it's for our collection. we've all the new ones and the originals on VHS.
<7> just nice to complete the collection
<4> then buy it AGAIN in HDDVD or BluRay, whichever wins, eh?
<0> You'll never complete the collection
<2> well, if you want to add to the collectionof new ones, **** in a dvd case. it'll fit right in with them
<0> because he'll keep re-releasing them
<7> Jet: why not?
<2> be sure to close the case while it's still warm
<0> The re-re-re-release of the previous re-re-re-edited 50th anniversary edition!
<7> ehh, so long as we have the 6 movies and the SW comics from Sci Fi we're happy
<4> I'd rather watch Chode and *** make bad puns on Tripping the Rift.
<7> only sets we're going to complete are SW, Dr. Who, and BSG
<0> is that all
<4> complete dr who?
<7> pretty much :)
<2> oooh. I didn't watch Friday's Dr who yet. maybe tonight
<4> holy crap, there's like 15 seasons on BBC of the old doctors
<7> yes, complete Dr. Who. Old series and everything
<2> new who is good
<7> Chris does damn good
<4> can NOT get into the new one, but I only saw part of one.
<2> I think he's a bit randy for the tart :)
<7> Barsky: waiting for this friday. they finally do a series on the Darlek Wars (The Last Time War)
<7> well they started the 2-part this friday. leadup to the season finale
<4> oh god, the darleks were the most ANNOYING episodesof the old B&Wshows. ELIMINATE ELIMINATE, bleah.
<4> daleks ?
<4> whatever they was.
<7> peerafk: then you obviously didn't get the basis of Dr. Who.
<7> The Daleks were the entire premise for Dr. Who.
<2> I have all the season 2 Huffs just accumulating on my dvr. for whatever reason just haven't gotten myself back into it this season
<7> and Tom Baker did exceptionally well playing that off.
<4> i was watching it on channel 9 latenight -before- Tom Baker
<2> tempted to just delete them off, kill the season p*** and blow off another show
<4> Jon Pertweet or whatever his name was.
<7> peerafk: watching and understanding obviously don't seem to go hand in hand with you.
<7> Barsky: hrmm. Huff?
<2> bahaha
<1> Ooh. Fresh tart.
<2> yeah. a Showtime (or is it HBO) show
<7> i'll have to look it up. see what it's about.
<4> understanding and disliking the sound effects of TERMINATE TERMINATE TERMINATE or whatever the **** the daleks screamed are two completely different things.
<8> could anyone help me with mtu?????
<2> highly rated...whatever that means
<2> Manly Thermal Updrafts?
<2> believe Tomomi just had one
<9> what's to help with MTU?
<9> most routers don't p*** packet sizes over 1500
<9> you generally want to set yours to 1492 tops to account for packet headers
<9> frankly, if you don't know what you're doing, don't **** with it
<4> RWIN is the one TCP tuning parameter that OCCASIONALLY makes sense to tweak.
<9> or tcp window sizes
<7> you don't get that the Daleks were THE most feared enemy in the known universe within the Dr. Who series. And it was only the soldiers that yelled terminate. The psychosis of the Daleks was that they feared anything NOT Dalek since their God (The Golden Dalek) believed that anything not Dalek was evil. The kicker was that it considered *everything* that didn't subscribe to the Dalek way of life as inferior and thus not Dalek and thus had to be terminated
<4> RWIN is the tcp recieve window size
<9> ah, I've never ****ed with it in windows, only unix
<9> you sometimes want transmit window sizes increased too, however
<4> Deryl; noooo, REALLY? I watched 100s of episodes of that and never figured out any of that. wow.
<7> peerafk: obviously
<4> **** you.
<1> Sounds a lot like the borg.
<7> no thanks. I'd fall asleep, you'd fall in love. Would be the best dream you ever had
<4> wow, you're full of yourself.
<7> peerafk: no, that stink just rolls off you.
<5> be nice kids
<7> BadtzUK: awww dad!
<8> no it just has to be over 1300
<5> or I will be forced to scare you all wiht pictures fro this weekends meet
<7> BadtzUK: NO MAN TITTIES!
<5> ****ing gl***es
<2> Deryl: they were muslims? ;-)
<5> im getting eye surgery
<7> Barsky: hahahaha
<5> no one here can fix my damn gl***es
<2> get lasik
<2> rockage
